Well I borrowed my mom's trailer to move a few months ago and ever since then it has been at my house and I keep finding uses for it. I also was in the market for a 2wd Ranger for a project and also so I could haul stuff. Well I have decided to wait a while on the Ranger since work has slowed down and I shouldn't spend the money on it. So I came across a Ranger bed on CL for $100 and decided to go for it. And after some constructive criticism from some of you guys on here, I decided to go with 2" square tube for the main frame, and use some left over HREW tube for the braces.
Here it is on my mom's trailer
And some work on the frame
And here it is sitting on it with bolts loosely attached to keep it in line
I must say my welds are getting much better
And here is an idea of what I am trying to accomplish
